Does Hank Blalock deserve a look at 1B from the Mets?

I was just listening to some hot stove talk on MLB.com during which they were discussing free agent Hank Blalock.  At just 29 years old, Blalock represents a young, experienced option for the Mets.  He had a tough stretch in 2007 & 2008 due to injuries.  However, when healthy this guy drives in runs and hits for power.  While I do believe he would be more suited for the AL where he could DH and play some in the field, Met fans have to be a little intrigued in Blalock if Delgado does not perform this winter and nothing else pops up on the trade market.  He could be an affordable bridge to youngster Ike Davis.

I have not heard anything linking the Mets to Blalock, but that is not to say it may begin as the off-season rolls on.  Would love to hear some comments from you regarding Blalock and whether you think the Mets should take a look.
